Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Allow it to cool slightly.
Add the peanut butter to the melted butter and whisk until smooth and well combined.
Mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully incorporated.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
